Red Bull racing have joined hands with sportswear brand Castore for the team’s official merchandise from the 2023 season onwards. Castore is a popular name in the sports industry and are associated with top sports teams in the Premier league, European football, international cricket, tennis and rugby. Castore will be supplying the team’s official merchandise and even fans will be able to purchase the same high-performance sportswear as used by the racing team.
A picture of the rumoured Castore-Red Bull merchandise has been leaked on Instagram and fans don’t seem so happy about it. Although, there has been no confirmation from official sources if the leaked kit is authentic, fans are assuming the actual kit will be somewhere similar in terms of design and colour. The Castore branding will feature on team apparel and on the race suits of Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. The Castore x Oracle Red Bull Racing collections will be available to purchase on Red Bull Shop, Castore.com as well as trackside retail.
